"I don't think that being a strong person is about ignoring your emotions and fighting your feelings. Putting on a brave face doesn't mean you're a brave person. That's why everybody in my life knows everything that I'm going through. I can't hide anything from them. People need to realise that being open isn't the same as being weak."

If This Was a Movie.

Last night I thought about how lately,
My life has been kind of going to plan lately,
I'm studying hard and I'm getting good grades like my mama said I would.
Last night I thought about how lately,
I've been kind of happier lately,
I'm laying off the makeup and I feel prettier like my mama said I could.

But you know I,
Can't help wondering if
This was a movie how would we turn out?

If this was a movie,
I wouldn't be alone,
I'd have a boy to drive me home.
If this was a movie,
You'd come back to me.
And maybe you'd even be riding a lawnmower.
If this was a movie,
You would have made me cry,
But you would have stood in the rain and told me why
You would be sorry,
If this was a movie.

Last night I thought about how lately,
Boys haven't meant as much to me lately,
I've backed off a bit and I'm having fun like my mama said I should.
Last night I thought about how lately,
I'm managing pretty good lately,
It's kind of nice without depending on love like my mama said I shouldn't.

But you know I,
Can't help wondering if
This was a movie how would we turn out?

If this was a movie,
I wouldn't be alone,
I'd have a boy to drive me home.
If this was a movie,
You would come back to me.
You would have chosen me instead of her.
If this was a movie,
You would have known you messed up,
If this was a movie,
You wouldn't have walked away.
If this was a movie.

I should have known
The higher you aim
The harder you fall
It doesn't bother me too much now,
But I can't help wondering if
This was a movie how would we turn out?

If this was a movie,
You would be a cute-smile movie star,
If this was a movie,
I wouldn't have acne scars.
If this was a movie,
We could have had our first kiss onscreen.
If this was a movie,
I'd know how it would end,
Walking on the beach at sunset,
Or round a river bend,
It would fade to black,
And show the names,
And it would be so lame,
But if this was a movie,
It would have turned out okay.
